Glyph origin

[edit]
Characters in the same phonetic series (危) (Zhengzhang, 2003) 
Old Chinese
鮠 *ŋuːl
峞 *ŋuːl, *ŋuːlʔ
頠 *ŋuːlʔ, *ŋrolʔ
詭 *krolʔ
垝 *krolʔ, *krols
陒 *krolʔ
觤 *krolʔ
恑 *krolʔ
蛫 *krolʔ
祪 *krolʔ
洈 *krolʔ, *ŋrol
姽 *krolʔ, *ŋrolʔ
桅 *krolʔ
佹 *krolʔ
跪 *kʰrolʔ, *ɡrolʔ
危 *ŋrol
峗 *ŋrol
硊 *ŋrolʔ
卼 *kʰruls

Phono-semantic compound (形聲／形声, OC *kʰrolʔ, *ɡrolʔ) : semantic 足 (“foot”) + phonetic 危 (OC *ŋrol). However, the phonetic component shows (perhaps by chance) a person kneeling on the ground.

Etymology

[edit]

Perhaps connected with Proto-Vietic *t-kuːlʔ (> Vietnamese gối (“knee”)) (Schuessler, 2007). For the semantic relationship, compare English kneel. Also compare Proto-Sino-Tibetan *koj (“bend; curved; lap; bosom”), whence Burmese ခွေ (hkwe, “to coil; hoop”) (STEDT).
